I've seen the transition of Echarcha from the constant politico-religious bashing and fights between viking and xandu or xanadau which was fun for some time but took me off the board soon after, but things changed soon after and we had fresh new topics and the politico=religious focussed board had a whole new variety of discussions for ppl of varied interests!

Good stuff has been coming from the new members as well....and we have some more active female members than before which is yet another good thing (assuming they are women frm their name )

will anybody care to answer me---when somebody said that ppl leave after they meet each other in real life --was he talking in general or did some earthaking event really take place.
Tantu is dropping some hint about Pune....
why cant old members write a bit of history of EC for our benifit , Not the official history but prceptions . New members will at least get to know about past major events .

There was recently a big hue and cry about the exit of certain members from EC. However my personal opinion is that the members still participating on EC are much better than some who have left due to personal reasons. There are so many posts here without hindi abuses which had come to be the norm on EC a few months back. People are now more interested in debates and refuting points raised by some on basis of valid arguments. No one resorts to abuses. People seem to restrain themselves well and behave in a civil way.

What do think of the quality of discussions on EC off late?

Let us participate in this poll!

There is no option that says "EC was more interesting earlier" ... instead, Viking has an option that says "The present members are not as good as old members," which is much stronger and more offensive"

Added "EC was more interesting earlier"

though in my mind, we have always had a good discussion. Yes there were ups and downs. Yes these days more users participate. But its all for the good. I am happy that more people log in and contribute to the content.

During this poll how many of you recognise the following ID's as old timers?

1) BadnaamGaandu
2) Cordless Mobile
3) e8k95
4) style bhai

We need to get to the bottom of this. This will help us analyze for ourselves that with whose exit the duplicate ID mess went down!

PS: the voting on this thread just like in the Indian parliamentary/assembly elections seems to be influenced by religion! Most of those who voted option 2 including the duplicate ID's seem to be from a particular religion.

Unlike in the Indian elections where most middle class,rich,educated Indians say or do nothing, simply squatting in front of their TV sets watching the country go down to dust. I request you to at least participate here and share your opinions!

inshallah Tantu ji....Viking what is your motivation behind this campaign, any particular propoganda against anyone ?? I think that seems to be the main idea behind this post

Well I see this as an opportunity to clear my name. I was relentlessly accused by one esteemed member to have created many duplicate ID's long ago. However I find it strange that there seem to be little or no duplicate ID's off late after that esteemed members departure.

your opinions!

firstly..whatever happened a couple of days back was shit..aur uske upar ye thread ..that is more shit.
And religion voting ??
as far as i know ..Big G left actively participating long back ..it made no difference since then. Suddenly he appeared and disappeared again ...still no difference. Then ...why this poll ?
Everytime some member threatens to quit or quits , why we look into ourselves again ??
Some kind of guilt feeling ..bothering ??
chill ...ppl

This is a cool little community , ppl come / go ..had not made big difference in past....and will never happen in future.new members always filled up the empty space.
this is not like groups of BSP & RJD MLAs in bihar pulling away their support whenever their leader gets pissed off. its not going to happen here !
so..pls ..do not start polls like this in future to prolong somebody's exit/entry
